Daddy Nomad Birthday In Vegas

Today may just be March 27th to some of y’all, but to our bunch it is a big, big day to celebrate. It’s Daddy Nomad’s BIRTHDAY!!!! There’s something that most of Daddy Nomad’s birthdays have in common……they’re pretty chill. He’s not one for a bunch of hoopla or to make a big… Continue reading

Pumpkin Picking

Here we are, almost two weeks into the autumn season, and let me tell you, the Nomads have been celebrating up a storm. We’ve already been able to take in the beautiful changing of the leaves in our own area and beyond. The pumpkin scented soaps and candles are out, being enjoyed by… Continue reading

Idaho Spud Day

Ever heard of Spud Day?? If you have not, then you are not alone. Until a month or so ago, I had never heard of it either. But when I learned that there was a whole day to celebrate (my favorite carb) spuds, I was in. We had no idea… Continue reading

Second Nomadiversary

We’ve come to that time…..AGAIN!! It’s Nomadiversary time; our second Nomadiversary, to be exact. We’ve officially been on the road for two short years (or long years, depending on what day you ask me). As we live this life from day to day, it doesn’t really register to me just… Continue reading

Last week we had 3 gorgeous days of weather. Since we arrived in Kentucky we’ve had mostly cold temperatures, rain, snow, and cloudy skies. On top of that a few of the Nomad bunch had gotten sick, and one Nomad kiddo took off to TX to visit one of his… Continue reading

Mosey Into Nashville

A couple of weekends ago, I took off for a girls weekend in Nashville with one of my oldest, and dearest gal pals, Jamie. Many moons ago she was the maid of honor in my wedding. It had been 6 years since we had spent time together; so I was… Continue reading

Connecticut Beach House

When our original plan was made for the New England part of our adventure, I was only slightly excited. I’m actually exaggerating quite a bit…..I didn’t want to go. I won’t carry on about why I wasn’t looking forward to this stay; we’ll just say that I wanted to head… Continue reading

Mystic Pizza

When the youngest nomad said he wanted pizza for his birthday dinner, currently being in Connecticut, and close to Mystic, two words came to mind…..Mystic Pizza. As a child of the 80’s, and a fan of Julia Roberts, Mystic Pizza was my suggestion to the birthday boy. He had never… Continue reading

Homeschool Days Out

Our family has been a homeschooling family long before we became a nomadic family. We love homeschooling our children, and are thankful to be a part of their educational journey. Our homeschooling days look pretty much the same from day to day. It’s kept pretty structured. The lesson plans are… Continue reading
